People United for Sarah Palin

Thursday, September 11, 2008

"As for sex, the hypocrisy of her outing her pregnant daughter in front of millions of people, hard on the heels of her concealing her own pregnancy (her faith in abstinence applying, apparently, only to non-Palins), is nicely balanced by her hypocrisy in gushing with loving support of her teenage daughter after using a line-item veto to cut funding for a transitional home for teenage mothers in Alaska"

Geeez Wendy, the only reason she let it out about Bristol being pregnant is that a bunch of NUT Jobs started a stupid rumor about Trig being Bristols child. She increased funding for teenage mothers 175%, I wish you guys would get your DNC talking points up to date! Yes she believes in abstinence, no she is not opposed to teenager learing about condom's! I am sure I can safely say she does not support teaching kids about sex before they can read though.

"Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman. The Republican party's cynical calculation that because she has a womb and makes lots and lots of babies (and drives them to school! wow!) she speaks for the women of America, and will capture their hearts and their votes, has driven thousands of real women to take to their computers in outrage. She does not speak for women; she has no sympathy for the problems of other women, particularly working class women. "

Her greatest achievment is that she is more like my wife, my mother and many of the women I work with then you probably are. Is there a communist cap on how many children she can have? She is the average American woman and most of them identify themselves more to her than you. I hear the women in the break rooms and on the office floors all talking about how she is like them! Get out of your college and visit fly over country, you will be more alien than Sarah!

One of the biggest bimbos in Hollywood opened her mouth in an intelligent an intellectual debate of politics. The bimbo Canuck who barely graduated Highland Secondary school. Showed that she can hold an educated debate with a reporter. The funny thing is that these idiots in Hollywood do not realize that every time they interject themselves into politics it tends to piss off the average American in fly over country (thats middle america Pam!).

Sarah and Todd Palin's decision to complete her recent pregnancy, despite advance notice that their baby Trig had Down syndrome, is hailed by many in the pro-life movement as walking the walk as well as talking the talk. But a senior Canadian doctor is now expressing concerns that such a prominent public role model as the governor of Alaska and potential vice president of the United States completing a Down syndrome pregnancy may prompt other women to make the same decision against abortion because of that genetic abnormality. And thereby reduce the number of abortions.

"What the $%#$! Is there a quota on abortions in Canada! Hey any Canucks out there! IS THERE AN ABORTION QUOTA IN CANADA, EHH! What kind of absurd statement is this! "

Published reports in Canada say about 9 out of 10 women given a diagnosis of Down syndrome choose to terminate the pregnancy through abortion.Dr. Andre Lalonde, executive vice president of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in Ottawa, worries that Palin's now renowned decision may cause abortions in Canada to decline as other women there and elsewhere opt to follow suit.

"I thought it was their decision to begin with! I guess Canadian are a bit monkey see monkey do!" It sounds more to me that there is a lot of worry about decreased business rather than a sound medical decision"

He says not every woman is prepared to deal with the consequences of Down babies, who have developmental delays, some physical difficulties and often a shortened lifespan. Lalonde says his primary concern is that women have the choice of abortion and that greater public awareness of women making choices like Palin to complete a pregnancy and give birth to their genetically-abnormal baby could be detrimental and confusing to the women and their families. "Ohh, so now they are too stupid to handle a special needs child."

"The worry is that this will have an implication for abortion issues in Canada," Lalonde tells the Globe and Mail. In her widely-viewed acceptance speech to the Republican National Convention and a TV audience of some 37 million last week, Palin did not refer to her baby's birth as a decision or choice. "In April," she said, "my husband Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. "From the inside, no family ever seems typical. That's how it is with us. Our family has the same ups and downs as any other, the same challenges and the same joys. "Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge. And children with special needs inspire a special love. "To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House."

Others in Canada, which has just begun its own national parliamentary election campaign, see the Palins as positive parental role models who could help reduce the tide of Down syndrome abortions. Krista Flint is executive director of the Canadian Down Syndrome Society, which says its goal is to foster "a climate of understanding and mutual respect for the dignity, worth and equal rights for ALL people." The society now displays a photograph of the happy Palins with their baby on its homepage and offers to provide "positive and factual information" for an open discussion of Down syndrome.
